I met up with Jon Myers, Head of Search for MediaVest, at a recent Online Marketing Show in London. Jon has been involved in Search for almost 10 years and and has seen the industry grow dramatically during that time.

I chatted to Jon about his background and current role ( he runs a team of twenty three search people!) plus I also asked him to offer some advice for people considering a job or career move into the search engine industry. If you are looking to move into search, or considering your next move within the search engine industry, then Jon has some valuable hints and tips for you in securing your next job! – Total running time: 16 mins 24 secs

Jon has worked in search marketing and online media for more than nine years. Involved in SEO for years and paid search (PPC) since its inception in the UK, he is recognised for his unparalleled experience and knowledge within search engine marketing in the U.K. He was one of 10 experts selected by Overture (Yahoo) to help create their SEM accreditation scheme. More recently, he is a regular member of search product improvement panels with all of the major search engines within paid search.

When you look at the majority of job sites the largest percentage of advertisers are Recruitment Consultancies.

However, some job seekers have never used a Recruitment Consultancy before and are unsure about the process and how to maximise their chances of success.

I recently interviewed Lucy Simpson, Manager of Digital Media at Major Players, a London based Digital Recruitment Agency.

Lucy offered some really useful, practical advice and insights into where the current opportunities are within Search, Digital Media and Online Marketing, as well as giving some good suggestions on how to make your CV stand out and how to prepare for an interview.

Whilst I was at the Search Marketing Expo in London last month I caught up with Paul Doleman. Paul is the Chief Technical Officer and Head of Paid Search for iCrossing (Spannerworks).

Paul has been involved in the new SEMPO training initiative which has been put together by more than thirty five experts from around the world. In this interview Paul covers the background on how the training was put together, what is involved in the training and how to get involved.

I was at the Search Marketing Expo event in London yesterday, which is the first event that Chris Sherman and Danny Sullivan have hosted in the UK since they started SearchEngineLand.

I managed to grab a few minutes with Chris and Danny at the end of the day to ask them how the first day went? It was also interesting to hear from Chris of their plans for further shows in Eastern Europe, India and the Far East.

As the summer holiday period draws to a close this weeks interview is with Janet Taylor, Operations Manager at JobsInSearch.com, who has seven tips to help job seekers with their online job applications.
